“That's it, we will work. There, of course, there are many who resist. But I agree with you, the position is absolutely correct, ”he said in response to the proposal of the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky to tighten legislation in this area.

The head of the department said before that at present, producers receive 90% of the profits from the return of the proceeds from the film distribution, while more and more cinema goes to the Internet on streaming platforms.

According to him, this market "will never rise in our country unless we decisively overcome movie piracy."

Medinsky noted that the law, which has been developed since 2013, in its current form “does not work and it will not work,” because it is “very soft”.

In 2018, Roskomnadzor announced an increase in the fight against Internet piracy.
